Prolonging the Spell Cake The spell cake is a powerful and ancient artifact that has the ability to grant wishes and perform magic. Created by the order of magicians centuries ago, the spell cake has been the source of both wonder and chaos. However, like all magic, the power of the spell cake is finite and eventually, it will lose its enchantment. To prolong the spell cake, one must understand the nature of magic and how it works. Magic is fueled by energy, and the spell cake uses a particular type of energy called essence. Essence is a vital force that exists in every living being and in the world around us.
Distant is in the bottom two, I think. But in some niche builds, it works great. Distant GFB or Distant BB works well, for example. It's also good to use for touch spells. Familiars can get killed easily in an AoE, losing all ability to cast touch spells at a distance.
But after King Fergus saw Elinor s torn dress and the bear in the castle, he locked his daughter in the tapestry room to keep her safe, while he and the lords went to kill it. It can even fit into the strategy A recurring magical nemesis may study the party and as a result try to trick the sorcerer into using their 9th-level spells in battle the day before they attack, and the sorcerer may have to take that into account if they are planning or expecting an even bigger battle the next morning day.
Essence is a vital force that exists in every living being and in the world around us. When the spell cake is used, it draws upon this essence to perform its magic. The key to prolonging the spell cake lies in replenishing its essence.
Thread: Extend Spell: Still the worst metamagic?
Among the 8 metamagics that exist, it is widely regarded that Extend Spell is the worst one. The reason is that it requires a spell that lasts at least 1 minute, and any spell that lasts 1 minute probably doesn't need to last 2 minutes instead. Combat usually ends before the 10th round.
However, with the advent of the Divine Soul, the Sorcerer now gets Cleric spells. There are some long lasting buffs from that list that are worth doubling as they will then last beyond the duration of a long rest. You can even cast these spells as part of a long rest, just before your spells replenish (for example, during your shift on the watch).
Here's a list of spells that, when Extended, can extend past a long rest. The benefit of this is that you will still have the buffs the next day and have the spell slots you used to cast them.
Mage Armor (1st). This was always in the Sorcerer's list, but it did not justify picking up Extend by itself. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Armor of Agathys (1st). This was always on the cards for Sorlocks, but Extending it gives it only a 2 hour duration. However, Catnap gives you 1 hour and 50 minutes with an upcast Armor of Agathys, giving you more time on this.
Aid (2nd). It increases your max HP by 5 at 2nd level, and 5 more for each level cast above 3rd. Can target 3 creatures. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Darkvision (2nd). Grants darkvision out to 60ft to one creature who doesn't already have it. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Death Ward (4th). It gives you the half-orc racial ability to return back to 1 HP after being dropped to 0 HP. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Those are the only spells I can see are worth Extending (and the list is growing as more uses are coming to light). Are they enough to justify bumping up the metamagic's power level? Are there other spells worth Extending in a functional build?

Dwarf in the Playground Join Date Nov 2017The essence can be restored through various means, such as rituals, potions, or even siphoning essence from other magical sources. However, these methods require a deep understanding of magic and may be risky or unethical. An alternative approach to prolonging the spell cake is to infuse it with a different type of energy: celestial energy. Celestial energy is a pure and potent force that is derived from the stars and heavens. By infusing the spell cake with celestial energy, its power can be revitalized and extended. To infuse the spell cake with celestial energy, one must embark on a quest to find the celestial stones. These rare and precious stones hold the essence of the heavens and can channel celestial energy into objects. With the celestial stones in hand, one must perform a ritual to channel the energy into the spell cake, imbuing it with new life and power. However, caution must be exercised when working with celestial energy. The energy is intense and can easily overwhelm and corrupt if not handled with care. It is important to adhere to a strict set of rituals and procedures to ensure the safe infusion of celestial energy into the spell cake. By prolonging the spell cake, its magic can continue to bring joy and wonder to those who possess it. The quest to infuse celestial energy into the spell cake is not an easy one, but the rewards are great. With careful and responsible use of the spell cake, its power can be extended, allowing for more spells and wishes to be granted. In conclusion, prolonging the spell cake requires a deep understanding of magic and the ability to infuse it with celestial energy. Through careful rituals and procedures, the spell cake's power can be revitalized, allowing for a continued source of magic and wonder..
